City

Chí Linh

South-eastern Asia

Chí Linh is a former city in Hải Dương Province, in the Red River Delta region of northern Vietnam. Its district became a district-level town in 2010, and in 2019 the town became the second provincial city of Hải Dương Province. It is a district where six rivers converge, with hills, mountains and forests, and its administrative seat lay at Sao Đỏ, meaning Red Star. Many temples and pagodas honour national heroes such as Trần Hưng Đạo, Nguyễn Trãi and Chu Văn An, and the Côn Sơn and Kiếp Bạc pagodas are famous across Vietnam. Phả Lại, the biggest thermal power plant in North Vietnam, stands in the city, and the Star Golf course at Sao Đỏ, opened in 2003, is counted among the best in North Vietnam. The city covers 282.91 square kilometres and had 220,421 people in 2019. The area has carried the name Chí Linh since the 15th century, after earlier names for the settlement.
